The loads are factory. I am happy with 2" at 200 yards with factories. If I am getting <1MOA accuracy then I should be getting around 1" at 100 and 2" at 200. Throw in wind and the weather, I am satisfied. I always start out with factories and then move to my handloads.

Every one of these new remingtons I see have the roughest barrels I have ever seen under a scope. The BDL I am replacing with this gun, gets copper up and shots start opening at 5-7 rounds and I have 150 rounds thru it. I was going to run the Tubbs Final finish thru it, but I am going to send back to remington first. My handloads are moving at 3100 FPS for 180 Noslers PT so I understand they will copper more. But none of my other 700's copper up this quick. They are 270's and 30-06 however.
